I decided we needed a couple of days away, so this past weekend Jon, Emma, & I got up early and took off for the beach. We spent the day at Manhattan Beach, playing in the waves and walking the pier. There was even a small aquarium ON the end of the pier. Emma thought the touch tanks (of course) and the squid were both very cool. Then we checked into our hotel, spent some time in the pool, and went out for dinner. We ended the night with ice cream and a movie on Netflix. In the morning we had an awesome (free!) breakfast at the hotel and another quick swim before checking out. Then we headed over to one of mine & Emma's favorite hangouts and introduced Jon to the fun of the California Science Center. He really enjoyed seeing the Endeavour space shuttle and Emma loved all the hands on activities as usual. This time she even got to work with some chemicals and study reactions. By mixing 2 liquids (polyvinyl alcohol and sodium borate) she was able to make a semi-solid.... SLIME! It was a great weekend. :)
